What's NEW in Snagit

You work and play on the computer, jumping between tasks dozens of times per day. And interruptions are the norm. Now Snagit flows with your digital lifestyle...so you can capture, organize, and share the things on your screen—without breaking stride.

With this version, we've rebuilt Snagit Editor from the ground up to help you...

Go with the flow: How do you want to snag? Are you all about capture-capture-capture? Capture-edit-capture-edit? Or a simple capture-send? However you want to do it, Snagit now plays along. The old, linear workflow is gone. And you can almost taste the freedom.

Combine images easily: Snagit makes it easy to combine images. Whether you're placing last month's sales chart next to this month's...or placing funny sunglasses on a photo of your friend. Just drag-and-drop captures from the new Open Captures Tray onto the canvas. That's it!

Save nothing...save everything: Snagit now stores every capture automatically. Don't feel any pressure to name the capture or decide where to save it...until you're ready for that kind of commitment.

Find your stuff: Whether or not you saved it, find that capture later with the new visual search pane. If you can remember even one detail—like the approximate date or the Web site you captured—you'll find your capture with a click. Snagit keeps track of these details, so you don't have to.

Get organized (if you want to): As you capture images for next month's big project, tag them with "big project" or set the "Important" flag. No need to save anything in folders...just come back next month and view all your big project files with a click!

Keep your tools handy: The Editor's new menus make it quicker to get at the features you use most...and easier to discover the ones you've never used.

Snagit Features Overview

All the screen capture and editing functionality you'll ever need, in one simply powerful program.

Using Snagit, you can select and capture anything on your screen, then easily add text, arrows, or effects, and save the capture to a file or share it immediately by e-mail or IM.

Capture Anything

With Snagit, capturing anything on your screen is just a few clicks away. Snagit is easy to use but powerful enough to handle all of your custom screen capture and editing tasks.

What To Capture

This brief review of just a few of Snagit's most commonly used screen capture modes can help you choose the best one for the task at hand:

Region Capture

Select a specific rectangular region of the screen that you want to capture. Quickly capture an image, or part of a Web page, to edit and share.

Scrolling Window Capture

Capture all of the contents of any window or Web page that has a scrollbar. Snagit automatically scrolls the window during the screen capture, so you get all of the images and text in the window. This capture mode is perfect for saving those long articles you find online for easy reference later.

Menu Capture

Capture a single menu or cascading (multiple-layer) menus from Windows applications. This mode is particularly valuable for those who work in technical support or documentation.

Video Capture

Capture a short video of your own desktop activity. With Snagit in this mode, you can make quick tutorial videos to share with others.

Text Capture

Capture text from your screen — especially text that you can't easily copy and paste. Using this mode, you can also capture file lists from Windows Explorer, and the lists become editable. This is a convenient technique for creating lists of tracks from CDs that you have stored digitally, for example.

Web Page Capture

Enter a URL and automatically capture all of the images, video and audio files from a Web site. In this screen capture mode, you can also choose the file types (.doc, .ppt, .xls, etc.) you want to download from the site.

Snagit offers other, more advanced, screen capture types as well. Check out Snagit's features list to see all of Snagit's capture modes.

Capture Profiles

Choosing the screen capture options for complex tasks can be time-consuming. But, if you use a certain combination of screen capture settings often, you can save them in a custom profile. There are a few default profiles installed with Snagit to get you started, and it's easy to create new ones. You can even assign a keyboard (hotkey) combination to each of your profiles, keeping your most common captures right at your fingertips.

Pre-Capture Effects

If you know before you take your screen captures that you want them to have a particular border or a certain resolution, you can select these options from Snagit's Effects menu before you take the screen capture. Then, after capture, the effects will be automatically applied. This is a great way to quickly get a consistent look across repeated screen captures.

Options

Snagit offers a few additional screen capture options to make the capture process easier and to help you explain things more clearly. These options allow you to:

Include the cursor in your screen capture to show a viewer where to click
Set up a time-delayed screen capture
Keep the links on a Web page capture intact
Select multiple areas to capture
Turn the Preview Window on or off

Edit and Add Effects

Snagit's powerful Editor lets you crop, resize, adjust color, add text and apply custom effects to your screen capture without ever opening another editing application.

Enhance Your Captures

Use Snagit Editor's Paint Tools to enhance your screen captures with

Arrows
Lines
Shapes
Callouts
Cursors
Stamps
Text

Add Professional Effects

Snagit lets you customize your screen captures with professional effects, including

Edge effects, like drop shadow, torn edge, wave edge, saw edge, sharktooth edge, and beveled edge
Image processing effects, like sharpen, blur, and emboss
Magnify, spotlight, and dim
Perspective and shear
Borders
Watermarks

Change Color Properties Quickly

If the color or size of your original screen capture isn't quite right, you can make adjustments easily in Snagit Editor. With features like crop, trim, resize, color substitution and correction, halftone and grayscale, changing the color and size properties of your images is painless.

Add Interactivity

Adding interactivity to your screen captures makes them more engaging and informative. Add a clickable link on your screen capture that takes your viewer to a specific Web page. Or, create a Flash hotspot that displays text or a graphic when hovered over. This is the perfect way to include more information without cluttering up the capture.

Easily Edit or Convert a Group of Images

With Snagit's helpful batch conversion wizard, you can convert all of the images in a project to the same file type, give them same look, or make them all the same size, in an instant.

Share Easily

Snagit makes it easy to share your screen captures in print, by e-mail or IM, or on the Web. This section describes just a few of the many ways you can share your screen captures using Snagit.

It takes fewer words to communicate an idea when you use Snagit to embed a screen capture directly in an e-mail message.
